Wow ! It sure looks fantastic! You can get similar quality in SE097 if you disable nebula's and galaxy's skynoxes and FB's from the graphics menu (ctrl+F4) but it will make your GPU Fan sound like a jet engine and it will also reduce the frame rates to half (or even less) of what you had before . But it is worth it if you want to take screenshots! : But I am curious: How did they manage to get multiple pictures of this nebula from different angles? A single degree is light years apart! And our solar system needs to travel for millions of years for the nebula to look different

How did they manage to get multiple pictures of this nebula from different angles?

They didn't, they just took different bits of the photo and assigned them to different layers and created a fake paralax. It's something similar to converting a 2D video to 3D. At least that's the rough idea. So basically the 3D information in the image is totally fake, it's just for artistic purposes.

Does this mean this bug will be fixed in SE ver 0.98 or in a patch for SE 0.97? The reason I am asking is because of the challenge I want to start about the quest for earth's twin i.e. the search for procedural terras with ESI's as close as possible to earth's. I think it is better to hold this challenge for the time being because of the above bug and because a future patch for 097 may change the procedural seed of the universe .
